I Won the International Lottery Jackpot and Now You Have a Chance in India

What Did I Do?

I first did a background check on Lottoland. Since the Gaming Commissions of different countries regulate them, I was convinced that my winning money will be transferred to my account without a hassle.

The next step was registering on the site. I created an account, picked up a credit plan, added my account and all I had to do was start playing. Yes? No! My concern was - familiarise myself with the different lotteries on the platform, read all the FAQs, get the tips and then play one game at a time with just one ticket.

Within a few weeks, I had won small amounts, which were instantly credited to my account. As I gained confidence, I realised there are several ways in which I can increase my chance of winning. That’s when the idea of forming a lottery pool came into the picture. With my brother, and a few friends from the University we formed a pool and started playing.

It was my job to collect the money and buy the tickets. Our luck was good, and within four months and three days, we hit the jackpot on Lottoland. Since I was the person in charge, I did not have to follow up the draw or keep my ticket safe to know if I had won. A representative from Lottoland called my informing me about the win. There are no words to describe the excitement I felt at that time.  Within a few days, the money was transferred to our accounts, and we were all rich beyond our dreams.

I came back to India after completing my course (3-years ago), while my brother continues to live in Australia. Imagine my surprise when a neighbour recently asked me if I had heard of Lottoland. I immediately went online and was thrilled to know they now offer international lotteries to Indians. There are so many options to choose from - Powerball US, KeNow, Bitcoin Lotto, World Millions and many more.

If you have not played the lottery before, you do not need to worry. Follow what I did, First, familiarise yourself with the lotteries. Play the lower-priced tickets until you build up confidence. Once you build the confidence join the pool or play individually. Who knows, soon you will be sharing your success story on the Lottoland blog!

Online portals like Lottoland, which is a world leader in international lotteries, are now offering all these game options in India.

In India, gambling is a regulated industry that is subjected to different state-level rules and legislation as it falls under the jurisdiction of state governments. Despite all those restrictions, the online lottery market is considered legal as the draws of these lotteries don’t happen on the Indian soil. The online lottery has emerged as the much-favoured form of money-making entertainment for Indians who are always inclined towards gambling. A lot of people follow the tradition of gambling on Diwali and then there are mass-speculations on cricket match results through illegally.

Instead of doing things illegally, when these online portals are giving the opportunity to play the international lotteries legally, people will definitely take it.

If we talk specifically of Indian lotteries, Playwin is the biggest Indian lottery that is run by the Sikkim state government and is offered online. But then, it also has its share of restrictions like the player should be over 18 years of age and should reside in the states of Sikkim, Goa, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Arunachal Pradesh. Along with these restrictions, it carries a jackpot prize of INR 7 crore, which is a paltry prize when compared to international lottery jackpots.
